  When my brother got diagnosed with autism, our reality changed. We didn’t know what the future was going to look like, where the best school was for his needs, or who to turn to for support. Long mornings spent in IOP meetings, advocating for his rights with the school district, back-to-back therapies draining the greater half of our day and our gas tank. Sometimes I was invited to sit in on his sessions and observe. When I think back to the way his eyes looked, a few words come to mind: Frustrated, misunderstood, disinterested. He always has had rather peculiar interests; mechanical chains of the garage door, children’s books with bright buttons naming different colors, rewinding VHS tapes to rewatch his favorite scene over and over for what felt like the millionth time. My brother and I are now in our mid-to-late twenties, and he radiates such purity and excitement for living despite all the hardships he has had to overcome. He is my best friend and I am his. I found Armenta Learning Academy and immediately sensed that they had something I felt was missing from those dull classrooms and therapies: A chance to succeed - To be met with patience and encouragement, structured lessons incorporating his individuality into learning necessary skills. A chance to really see how far he can go - To push the limitations constantly put on him, being treated as the bright young man he is. Armenta Learning Academy allows me to give our students everything I’ve always wanted for my brother. Listening and adjusting to their needs and individuality, making the serious fun and taking our fun seriously, noticing all the little quirks that each student has and how we can incorporate their interests into the learning material. The best part is that every staff member at Armenta Learning Academy shares the same investment in our students’ success. All the attention to detail put into how we can connect with each student on a personal level, celebrate their progression, and build confidence from within is a testament to how we can surprise ourselves with our own capabilities.

They always go above and beyond for their students. Every child I've seen there is very happy to be there. It's great that they have such a wide age range of students. The owner is very nice and you can tell that her teachers and students like her alot. I highly recommend Armenta for your children, you will be very happy.

  When my daughter was four, she struggled in school due to ADHD, and so many doors were closing on her. I decided to homeschool for a while and enrolled her at Armenta Learning Center, and it changed everything. The staff understood her, supported her with sensory activities, and helped her learn to focus and enjoy learning again. She loved going there and still talks about it to this day. Thanks to Armenta, she was accepted into kindergarten and is now thriving. I’ll forever be grateful for their kindness, understanding, and belief in her when few others did.

With over 35 years in business, the academy supports learners with speech delays, dyslexia, executive functioning skills, ADHD, and autism, meeting them emotionally, socially, and intellectually. Parents and kids love the comfortable environment and immediate results, often driving over an hour for the services. Mrs. Armenta and her team provide a safe, nurturing setting where students feel supported and empowered—highly recommended!
